I was told about me feet, but I've always gone barefoot... But with saying that I've never had any problems with my feet not even hard skin or athletes foot etc... Then thing I can't abide when they do the foot check, is the the sound fork test I can feel the vibration right up through my shin bones :shock:
But if you want diabetic over kill, try a minor dog bite and a broken finger! (hazard of my job, dog handler)
Working with one on of the dogs, training the fetch, the dog went to catch the ball has I throw it, missed the ball but caught side of my hand, leaving a small wound where his fang punctured my skin.. I only went down to our Small Injury Unit because my boss didn't stop badgering me to go... Now I actually don't like hospitals, so phoned my youngest daughter to meet me there!
I ended up with the nurse prodding and poking ensuring she fulling cleaned the wound with sterile water, I thought when the nurse soaked a dressing with iodine, that he'd secure it with a normal micropore dressing, oh no, well yes he did secure it with the micropore dressing, but to ensure pressure was on it to push the iodine into wound, my hand and forearm strapped up! And it got worse he decided I had to have a tetanus Jab, I protested explained I didn't like injections... He laughed said 'she who injects herself' then realised I was going very pale and slipping down the chair
And I'm sure the tetanus jab kicked off my frozen shoulder, due to I reacted badly to the tetanus and straight into a frozen shoulder!
Broken finger, I was tossed over 4ft in the air by a collie, she'd collided with my legs at full pelt flicking me up, I ended up bruising to front of legs, hips and arm on the side I hit the deck, and 1 broken finger, a small fracture near the middle knuckle of the finger, Ended up twoing and throwing from fracture clinic for 8 weeks, constantly having it checked purely because I was T1, if I hadn't been it would have been strapped and told that I could take it off after a couple of weeks!
